Not profitably for Bitcoin or Litecoin, but for other coins that are minable by the FPGA-s.
To start you have to find out the exact part numbers for the FPGA chips and what kind of JTAG interface is available on the boards (used in testing and verification).

Most likely not.
Bitcoin mining today is done with ASIC devices.
Sorry, but this must go for top 5 craziest ideas for Bitcoin mining along with gaming console, laptop mining etc.

So the story goes like this, I was at an auction where the local university sells old equipment and the university has a hospital. I see a giant server available for sale and on it says UW radiology department and bought it for 55 dollars. It has blades (like server blades) of a register (like cpu register) and 2 blades of IO gates and 2 blades of what are called scalers. Does anyone know if these would be good for mining? My suspicion is that its a machine much like a cpu but used for mri machines, I know the hospital has an mri. The power supply is broken but I can get that fixed and I need to find cables, but is it possible to hook it up to a server with a lot of ram and use it to mine bitcoins?
